thing is the dual primal core we've had some really good games so far this week as always the team is down in the description below there is a raw paste and a poker paste for you guys to check out and try it if you want and um we made some new inclusions to the team uh on monday with the sableye and that bronzon and both have been doing so much work so far so i'm really hoping it continues on today i'm feeling a lot better as well thank you so much to each and every one of you as well once again for all of the the get well wishes and things like that really meant a lot um we are on 1672 but do feel a lot better today um and hopefully that continues as the week goes on so we'll kick off the chrono version one we've got uh dakan as our first opponent oh patrice so let's get into him preview okay so we're gonna go up against nx recall zernius and requiser patrice type of finny incineral supporting cast and then the other offensive one of the team if you can say that it's going to be nile ligo so patrice you a nice member to the team has uh access to super fine follow me nuzzle all sorts of things that are a pain in the butt to deal with um a trick or more though is going to do wonders for us here um especially if we can just get growed on even with either growed on or kayaga set up bronzon also gives us the option to deal with the zernius and the nile ligo we have to be a bit careful around the incineral especially if the the z move is there it's more likely the z move on these sort of teams you're going to see the z move on nile ligo though so i don't think we have too much to worry about there um the one thing if i do bring bronzon i probably want to bring sable as well it does mean that we're leaving koko out which could be quite good for just getting rid of the tapafini um in general but then you've got to think could we really make the best use of tapakoko when patrice you is sitting on the field as well so i think we'll go a sable i bronzon and our dual primers in the back and we've been playing this this fall quite a lot recently so we'll lock in with these and we'll uh we'll see how we get on this first one today yeah these four kind of seem to be the fallback ones for our um our trick or mode primarily and we seem to be playing a little bit more towards that end of the spectrum rather than our tailwind mode with salaments but maybe as the week goes on we'll see a bit more from salaments because i do feel like it's still a real valuable member of the team uh we are going to see zernius and incineral come up for my point here okay um now we've got a few options we could we could definitely fake out the incineral and set up a trick room could be a quite a nice option to be honest um i don't know if the zernius even stays out in the field now we've got an option to taunt the zernius straight away if we want to try for a trick room um i think the thing that we have to watch out for is if the the zernius just decides to attack um which isn't the worst thing in the world because save like does have the stash so we can we can totally get around that just i don't really want to take an attack with incineral and getting the trick room up early on is going to be really nice for us because the next turn we can get growed on in and we are going to see the incineral there just go for a fake out and a dazzling gleam coming out from the bottom there yeah zernius doesn't want to set up just yet okay well that makes a lot of sense the other option we could do is potentially switch um kyogre in rather than growed on and go for a gyro ball into the zernius i mean that's kind of the obvious thing to do isn't it i mean zernius probably protects us which is out here i'm gonna go for kyogre i just feel like the incineral if it goes for anything it's gonna be flare blitz and switching in growed on now to boost that onto bronzons never gonna be the best idea for us we could gravity right now um and then we at least we've got hypnosis to take advantage of the next turn which might actually be not a bad idea although tapu finny probably is lurking in the back so maybe it's not the best idea we'll just go with the gyro ball here like i said zernius may protects if it doesn't you get some nice damage onto it um but i would i'd say i don't know if i'm gonna we're gonna see darkest laureate from the incineral it's got the z move then makes things a lot more difficult for us going forward of course so we'll get the rain in with kyogre um no protect from the zernius which is interesting oh not doing very much after that to intimidate we're just going to see a u-turn now from the incineral um onto bronzon so you could have potentially got growed on onto the field requiser gonna hit the field now imagine that's what we'll see i wonder if we'll see the zernius go for a geomancy it's probably just going to attack again to try and get rid of the um oh it goes for the geomancy wow okay well don't mind that too much because we can potentially switch um kyogre out to groudon and i think you've got requiser in the back 100% so we could potentially go switch groudon in um and get the gravity up and i think that's what i might do gravity yeah we might see the patchy rissus switch alphor incineral so my pwn has got that additional turn to kind of try and burn through the trick room with the fake out support when it does come back onto the field but we'll see we'll get kyogre at home anyway groudon i'm going to be able to sap up these fairy type attacks a lot better than kyogre would be able to resisting them and all so let's see we'll get groudon onto the field now surprise at that gyro ball doing very little so that's such a bulky zernius isn't it patchy rissus protecting okay that's fine zernius protect ideal ideal okay now we're into money because i'm going to start putting stuff to sleep and just checking out some blades blades and hypnosis is okay it's got big blades and let's go hypnosis into zern we'll probably say follow me but if we don't then we can put the zernius to sleep and really shut down that option for my opponent but i don't imagine you see you follow me i don't know what item patchy rissus you normally carries is it focus sash it could make sense that it does carry that but who knows we'll soon find out yeah let's follow me okay so at least we stop that the next turn i'm gonna say moon blast probably in the bronzon to deny a trick room going up again i would imagine but unintimidated precipice blades oh we actually take down the patchy rissus okay would have been better really then going for uh a jarra ball because now we're going to see incinero come in um unintimidated and we know the rays in the back we had like a guaranteed 100% rays in the back um hmm do we just go for another precipice blades though and a jarra ball i think we're only fake out one thing we could go for hypnosis into the incinero and just precipice blades how many turns a trick room i left one probably better off going for the jarra ball to be honest and just the blades because the precipice blades should get okay i think they're gonna just okay right oh really mind that too much this won't take down incinero after a minus one but we still got the gravity in effect and i don't think they're gonna be able to take down groudon and i think you really have to well should we try and trick room we'll try and trick room again i don't think we'll get the trick room i think bronzon will go down uh to dazzle or moon blast or a dazzle and whatever incinero throws out but groudon should add speed the incinero and then the precipice blade should take both down and if it is the ray in the back which we all find out now yeah this the rail take damage from this precipice blades though um and if we see it if it's not into bronzon then we get the trick room up oh okay we'll lose bronzon but i think this is this is way more worth it because the precipice blades now should take the zonius down i'll do a good chunk of damage to this rear quasar as well yeah and then we can get save light back onto the field um hmm yeah because we'll keep kyle there for the late game um and we can potentially utilize our gravity one more time how many turns of gravity we've got left we've got two that would be ideal just one not enough okay we'll go for a precipice blades and we'll go for a fake i'll probably trade fake outs here i think that that makes the more sense they'll fake our groudon out we'll fake the requiser out if they don't we get rid of the incinero um fake out into groudon yeah makes sense okay i don't really mind what happens here now gravity is gone uh we could quash yeah we could totally i mean yeah because if you extreme speed you're not really getting anything you can't extremely save lie groudon's not going to go down from it let's extreme speed the uh quash the requiser because then we can guarantee the precipice blades onto the incinero let's see incinero was like super fast but regardless of that yeah it's gonna mega evolve into mega hang on for as long as it probably can at this point quash is such a good utility isn't it it is such a good utility i just i just love it i love save lie it's so good i think i might even take it to an event soon groudon still on form hitting these precipice blades um i like it i can say if you go for groudon now at leaf save lie open uh vice versa you kind of yeah you're gonna get groudon can we take oh invisible sash there we go okay um we could quash again fire punch and more tempted just to go uh foul play foul play because if we got a foul play now i mean it does nice damage but we just see the forfeit so very good game to my opponent nice one for us to kick off with today and i think we managed everything quite well especially after getting surprised with how bulky that zonius was we kind of got our trick room up set ourselves up in a position where um we made it very difficult for my opponent to kind of come back from uh after we got that um gravity up as well under the trick room with groudon and uh we weren't intimidated so uh team doing well and we didn't even need kaiog i really did we we may have needed it as a kind of soft check to flablets but didn't come to that so sitting on a rating of 16 82 at the minute uh we'll go with um water music ultra rucon squad let's hop over to this green and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our next opponent um but yes it's a nice being back and not being all nasally and probably slightly nasally but like not half as bad as it was earlier in the week and last week when i was doing the videos uh i feel a bit more normal as well so i'm not um i'm not feeling ill in any way really i feel quite good today so that's nice it makes a change and um yes i wonder how many of you are going to uh there's an event there's a regional in germany this weekend so for all of you going over there this weekend have a safe trip have an amazing time if you are going let me know um unfortunately i won't be there um i can't really travel abroad until i think the earliest it's going to be into the new year really uh with with having fear and things at the minute so which is understandable but i will be at a pc this weekend we are going down to see uh visit tasha's gran down in devin so which is very close to plimoth and so happens there is a pc happening on saturday in plimoth so i will be there um i've never been down to plimoth before so it'll be a brand new experience all around i'll be definitely repping the flinch squad shirt if there's by any chance any of you watching this and you'll be at that pc this weekend definitely come and say hi i would love to meet you and uh hopefully it'll be a good event and uh it'll be my first event of the 2020 season and it'll be my first event in almost a year like competitive event in almost a year which seems crazy um really crazy and i cannot wait to go and play i might even play this team on the weekend because i'm genuinely loving it i really do love it and i definitely know i want to play a tap of cocoa 100% because i'm just loving cocoa at the minute i can't get enough for cocoa um the only thing i would maybe change is like i really like the combination of cocoa katana so i might be tempted to switch things up in that respect uh but i think this team does well and uh if i can rock up to a pc with sableye and now i'm gonna have a lot of fun with it so that's the other thing um but obviously the goal is to get off the mark get get the win get 30 cp to kick off my season and on the road to london which would be very nice because i've got plimith this weekend and then bristol thankfully has a pc the following weekend and then the following weekend after that it's a double mss in openton which is going to be really cool so like three weekends of events so this is going to be the first of three um and obviously because i can't travel abroad uh at the minute i'm just attending locals which is uh which is fine which is really nice get to see the uk scene the uk guys and girls and hang out with you lot and play some pokemon which is always fun um but i am missing traveling far and wide for four regionals and other things but hopefully in the new year when it comes around um i'll have built enough points up through locals where i can have some really good finishes at those regional um and international level events and clinch that that uh that invites to the world championships it's um it's taking ages to find the next opponent whereas everyone today everyone's left the building okay right what we're gonna do cut yeah we'll come back save you guys time um when we find the next opponent so i'll see you all in a minute so that's 16 81 rated japanese player and we'll get straight into team proof because we've got the old duo from 2016 appearing in this team between zernius and smigiel and you know what it is an x-ray day we're gonna have another x-ray call to play here so zernius and rick wazer supporting cast here gonna be the incinero and lander us lander us something we saw very early x-ray builds and not so much now but i do think it's pretty necessary for these builds it helps against a lot of things that the team does struggle against you're gonna see whimsical it is going to be a speed set here it's going to help shut things down potentially with encore taunt um and then the smigiel obviously with its fast fake out and um follow me um and other all sorts of shenanigans that it can offer and uh cause us a lot of havoc so save a like gonna be good because we can't be taunted we can't be on court because we are part dark types the whimsical becomes a little bit yes less useful there um we can't be faked out either which is nice um do we want to go trick room because my opponent doesn't seem to be very good in trick room again trick room could be very good for us with bronzon and it feels like i'm just bringing the same four again is this fall just the fall that we're gonna bring um i think we're all right the only thing that i would worry about would be the smigiel getting a bit carried away with maybe spores if it's got it but then we do have taunt on sableye so if we just protect it we should be all right right let's get into it let's see what we can do let's not make any slip ups come on we need to keep this clean we're doing so well come on this is this is crunch time it's crunch time it's the what we're imagining it's swish swiss rounds it's like round five we've got three more rounds including this one to go and we're we're exo we need to keep things this is the crunch time so we can move into that next round a bit more relaxed none if you win one more wearing cut there we go no pressure okay we're gonna see where it requires us smigiel come out for my opponent um ah what are you gonna do what are you gonna do smigiel are you gonna fake out are you gonna are you gonna fake out are you gonna just put us to sleep i would think you'll try and put us through sloop um i the only reason like i want to fake out smigiel because i feel like it's probably not gonna fake us out but i'm gonna feel real real dumb if if we say the smigiel go fake out in the bronze on and we fake it out as well you know um so i just don't want bronze on gone to sleep because if it goes to sleep we lose all kind of momentum in the trick room i'm gonna go for that i'm gonna go fake out trick room i think the smigiel won't fake us out so we're gonna see the ray mega evolve once again mega ray coming out popping out come on smigiel click that sport button down to stream yeah okay i feel good about this i think we're gonna we get it we get it here we go knew it crunch oh dear oh it's into sable eye okay that's fine uh the crunching ray quasi uh we will go for oh what do we do we could probably see this smigiel go follow me um they may just taunt it and set up a gravity i could set up gravity be quite nice to set up now wouldn't it yeah we'll do that because paving the way for ground on to come in really that's what we want um and hopefully save like us down now if it doesn't we can still utilize it the next turn we'll go for the taunt on the smigiel shut that thing down stop it being able to put anything to sleep follow me and all that sort of shenanigans pretty confident bronze on should take a crunch from ray he says yeah there's a follow me i know your game i just hope the ray takes down sable eye rather than a bronze on now but who knows uh there's the meat gravity coming out and we can stop putting things to sleep it's so good so bad really isn't but it's good um there's a crunch come on get sable eye now it's a bronze on man we can't double up into the ray i feel like it is banded uh we can go gyro ball or we could just foul play what do we do do we just put it to sleep and switch and ground on it's maybe the better idea to be honest keep sable eye around for later and we got that fake out for later as well smigiel can't do anything let's just put this ray to sleep yeah let's do that i've got a feeling the ray is banded that is a heck of a lot of damage from a crunch like unbounded like life orb you could you could maybe argue could see doing that much but there's no life orb recall so it's definitely bad i would say that's like normal mega ray then why am i not using mega ray all the time that's all i'll say even though we know that mega ray is great so we'll get ground on him we'll override the delta stream we're gonna see the oh the ray switch out okay uh instead of all coming don't mind that too much um at all actually because it can't use fake at the next turn it does get the intimidate on to us but not the worst all right hypnosis there we go the thing is our turns are running out quite quickly we're gonna see a struggle into does it take down art into ground on okay that's fine um do we use this turn to do how many turns of trickling we've got left to let's just start throwing blades out let's not worry about going for a sword stance just yet um and go for a hypnosis into the smiggle because it might switch the smiggle out you never know i doubt it though i think i'll probably just be happy to sack both pokemon here but it's good to get rid of the smiggle now while it's still taunted and we can get rid of it without any problems so the center all going to switch out again zernius coming in it's going to take a precipice blades do you don't mind when we get there narcissists waste the time into the smiggle if we were a bit smarter about maybe looked at the incinero and hypnosis that slot but uh we are running out of trickling turns very quickly because getting that zernius um with a hypnosis here would have been incredible for us i think i'm gonna have to go for a sword stance now i think definitely think the zernius protects um does the incinero switch out again that's the thing like if we can catch the right i'm gonna go for a cheeky hypnosis into incinero because i feel like you might switch incinero out again to have more intimidate shuffle because it can't do anything here and you're just stalling out the last turn of trick room and i feel like you feel pretty confident about bringing a rain on a precipice blades minus two makes sense if we can catch that ray with a hypnosis that would be really really good because that makes okay we're not going to see that unfortunately i wish we could um i'll go for it again incinero has to sleep this turn which is fine um we do get the sword stance up which is good and that just puts us back to normal now i think we're just yet normal so we still got the gravity up so we can't miss this next turn whatever happens um and we will try and get a trick room up like the zernius has to attack here to stop our trick room from the bronze on um yeah we'll go for it okay let's see oh incinero coming out okay well ray's gonna take a precipice blade let's say zernius has something mad like um in power water i'll just dazzle has to go for it though can't go for the geometry um we'll get some nice damage this does open the door for us to get sableye back onto the field or even kayoga to be honest that's nice damage um i'm gonna get sableye out because if you switch in incinero now hmm do we like you have to protect zernius here i think that's the thing i'm kind of tempted to go for a foul play into the ray quasi and protect gradon hmm i feel like a water a waterfall comes out there into that slot um or do we just precipice blades and hop and just or just fire punch into the zernius and just fake out into the ray maybe maybe rather than messing around let's go with that okay we're gonna get that like a fire punch should take down the zernius from this range it's just gonna take down sableye which is fine um and i think kayoga gradon should be enough to deal with hopefully we can take this down should be able to don't know if we get lucky there with the critical hit awful the fire punch would have done it anyway um now the incinero still asleep could wake up of course depends what the rays got as well has it got earth power it has a got waterfall it's banded it's probably got um waterfall i mean one of the things we could potentially do here is just double protect to see what it locks itself into and then we can play accordingly from there couldn't we the only problem is we can't really use gradon to do anything to rake ray now that's the that's the only issue here we've got to use kayoga to to deal with ray gradons minus one again so we're not going to get the incinero could we sword stance with gradon i don't think it's a threat for my opponent and i think they have to they have to really switch their priority now to the kayoga i think we can probably get a sword stance up and then if kayoga goes down at least we've got a fire punch we can try and there's a fake out no it's in the ground on okay i mean kayoga should take a dragon ascent here like a banded dragon ascent i'm pretty hopeful that we'll take a banded dragon ascent we'll just go for a precipice blades in the ice beam into ray oh the intimidate would have been nice if we had salamence of course it's just about this kayoga taking this banded banded dragon ascent did we take it i don't know i don't know without intimidate i really don't know we'll see we'll soon find out come on kayoga you big whale you know you can do it you're not the worst kayoga but you can't you can't be blamed for that we could have fire punched there into the the ray to be honest um now i don't know if we can take that's a rock chop the ground is not gonna take uh yeah i think the best thing we could have done there would have been like yeah fire punch into the ray if kayoga went down then yeah we kind of covering ourselves a little bit in hope that a fire punch would have been enough to take it down but unfortunately not my opponent's played the banded ray really well here um so we've got to take our hats off to them unfortunately i'm a bit a bit sour about the defeat here because i feel like it's definitely a game we could have won if we'd manage things a little bit better along the way um it's one that i really want to best the three of you know when you finish a game you're like just give me a best of three against this let's figure it out like let's get this team figured out um but never mind very good game nonetheless the main thing is i hope you guys enjoyed it uh we're gonna end it here um remember to check out the flinch scotch stuff uh over on our teespring site uh link down in the description below and um i will see you all for another episode tomorrow so until then take care of yourselves and bye bye
